As in I forgot PRoJ during my initial predictions but now I see I didn't have to :P

Ah okay fair enough :P

10. Sigala - Easy Love

 

Why: When Aquafina brought this entry into the contest I was really happy as I started playing this song on Plug.dj shortly before as I was in love with it. The sample of Jackson 5's 'ABC' is really good. Overall the song is really feel good and just a great dance song.

 

09. Dealta Heavy - Ghost

 

Why: I love the song first as its a good and weird dance song. The video however is pure old skool I love the use of the old Mircosoft paper clip throughout the video. Good song that eventually won the contest. Well Done #00274E.

Oh it is "Ghost" after all! I was wondering if that would be in another EOY.

 

Just curious, how many points did you give machineheart if at all?

I gave Machineheart 11 in the final

 

I gave Ghosts a 12 and I really prefer it :heart:

08. Kove ft Moko - Hurts

 

Why: I have chosen this song mainly for Moko's vocals. The bassline and production is good though too, However Moko's vocals really sell the deal for me :cheer: Aeroche really did pick a fantastic song here. Well Done.

 

07. Osca - Blood

 

Florina Take my 7th best discovery in this countdown. Why I have chosen this song is because It is beautiful, Its such a slow and gentle song that makes you feel ease and its perfect for a Sunday chillout slumber. I gave them 15 in the final of 75. SLAY. Such a great song and didn't do well in the final :(

 

06. Audrey Napoleon - Dope A La Mode

https://vimeo.com/66681394

 

Why: Purely an Instrumental the song relies on the production and boy does it deliver. The video is even more better. If you haven't seen it I urge you too. The video is probaly the main reason why its so high as much as I love the song, the video sold it for me.

I don't think I've ever been more shocked of a Persephonia song than "Dope A La Mode".

When I first heard it I was shocked but good shocked :lol:

05. Special Request - Ammnesia

 

Why: Thanks to Annie Mac I knew about this before the contest then Cumulonimbia had sent them in the latest BJSC (BJSC 80). It reminds me of a old rave song from the 90#s but also remains quite new which is special too see especially how dated, generic or recycled dance music can be most of the time. It also remians somewhat indie at the same time (might be wrong there) but that is due to how unique it is.

 

04. Kishi Bashi - I Am the Antichrist to You

 

Why: I didn't vote orginally in the contest this was in. the reason being there was other songs I liked more at the time. HOWEVER it really crept on me and just seems like a great timeless classic indie record that is so unique and out there. I love the heartbreaking vocals, the production is outstanding. The video seals the deal for me as it tells the story of two cartoon rabbits getting separated from each other.

Hey Hazza, I've just done a bit of a catch-up on this countdown now!

 

There's a few good'uns so far in your top 10! 'I Am The Antichrist To You' is one of the few BJSC songs this year that genuinely make me really emotional! So stunning. 'Dope A La Mode' is also excellent, I totally agree with your comment of the instrumental being strong enough to capture your attention for the whole duration. Hehe at the vid enhancing your enjoyment of it. :kink: (snap tbh x) Yay for the cool music vids in this section, 'Ghost' would definitely file under there too.

 

Great stuff, I look forward to your top 3!

Hi Jade :hi:

 

'I Am The Anticrist To You' is a emotional song and the video is too. Good combo for selling the song :lol:

 

'Dope A La Mode' Glad you agree with me and as the song progresses your attention not only is focused but changes slightly with each different beat. The video does enchance my love for it (Toby being straight teas :kink:)

 

'Ghost' is a really good video too :music: :yahoo:

 

Thanks for the comment :D

03. Courtney Barnett - Pedestrian At Best

 

Why: What I love about Courtney Barnett is her song-writing. Her lyrics are a cross between humorous, witty and dead pan. These three adjectives suit her and sums her up well. If you haven't heard her album I strongly urge you too, its amazing every song is just amazing. Her ability to tell a story through witty lyrics is amazing. I really do think she is the best songwriter in a long time and how she is not mainstream yet is beyond me (although same time happy with her being indie :lol:)

 

Now Cor Lupus vs N-Lazone :o :o :o

Hey Harry,

 

Great to see that you enjoyed “Amnesia” - I also discovered it listening to Annie Mac. You're right that the tune sounds early 90s, the breakbeats and synths in the track by Paul Woolford were deliberately used to replicate the sounds of that era. Also excellent to see “Pedestrian At Best” in your Top 3, I think it is easily one of the best BJSC entries of the year and even though I already knew it before it was entered I gave it high marks - it will be very high up in my Top 100!

Hi Doctor Blind,

 

For me it reminds me how Jamie XX done 'All Under One Roof Raving' creating a song that celeberates the raving era i.e. The 90s. I can see why Paul Woodford used the breakbeats and synths in this track to show that this is a tribute to 90s raving music.

 

Funnily enough I didn't give Courtney Barnett a lot of points as I heard it before hand but I wish I gave it more as I adore it one of my fave BJSC enteries of the year by far love it.

Will keep an eye out for it in your top 100 :D

 

Thanks for the comment :D

Just put me out of my misery and announce Sinead Harnett as the winner, you already chatted that a couple weeks at #1

 

That said I'm surprised I even made it this far (I think with Five Knives)

I charted it #3 not one :P

THAT DOESN'T HELP

THAT DOESN'T HELP

Sorry but no matter what happens I want you to know I love that track and you did beat like 18/19 tracks Bae :heart:

I know, I'm still predicting Sinead at #1 tho

 

Speaking of predictions I got three songs right so far

Slay the predictions :cheer: :cheer:

Its Come To The Final Two....

 

 

 

 

Cor Lupus takes on N-Lazone...

 

 

 

 

 

Who Will Be First ....

 

 

 

 

Who will Be Second.....

 

 

 

 

 

Let's See...

 

 

 

 

02. Five Knives - Savages

 

Why: What a Tune this is. I have no idea where Cor Lupus get their music from, Every entry has been different and really good, was hard. This is my favourite they have ever sent. The electronic beats in the chorus along with the 'Oh Oh Oh...' really go well. Not only that the chorus is really super catchy every time I hear it it manages to go in my head and stay there for ages. Anyway Cor Lupus/Cody if you read this I want to tell you Well Done. You thrashed 18 others including yourself to get to this spot, be proud of that, Love this so so so so much. Well Done Bae :heart:

 

That Means a N-Lazone Entry has won

 

01. Sinead Harnett - She Aint Me

 

Why: I heard this before the contest and I liked it, wasn't in love with it then. Then the contest came up and N-Lazone entered it and from then my love for this. Its smooth RNB with a classic yet modern feel to it. People can relate to the song and the vocals are very good. I gave Them full 18 poins in the final because it always gets in my head even when I do not listen to it. I love it by. It was a very close call for number one. I just wish it did more in the final. Did not deserve to be where it was. I really think if backed Sinead Harnett will be huge, but doesnt look likely right now :(

 

Hope you enjoyed my Top 20 countdown - See you in the next year for my BJSC contests :D
